Restoration of a 1965 Volkswagen Type 34 Karmann Ghia Model 346 in San Diego, California USA.

Final Paint!
A huge hurdle has been reached with the final painting of the M346! Five years from when I disassembled it into 34 million pieces and now it's showing signs of its rebirth. Chemo shared these photos with the T34 owners at the VW Classic (which I missed as I was in Germany on business) and now shared them with me. The L554 Cherry Red may look differently under the yellow lamps of the shop, so he's taking new ones outside to see the real color hues. But my inital impression is one of great contrast between the body & roof and of an aggressive look with the two-toned scheme.
Have been actively driving & restoring T34s since 1987 and have owned 10 so far. Currently own two: restored Ruby Red 1962 Cabriolet replica & this 1965 M346.
